Welcome to Grand Theft Auto V. One of the biggest experiences you may ever play on the Xbox 360. Among the gigantic amount of things that you can do in this game, collectibles play a large role in the achievements. There are a grand total of 297 collectibles scattered across the world, although only 245 are required for the achievements and 100% checklist progression.

You will be required to collect:

50 Spaceship Parts

50 Letter Scraps

50 Under the Bridges

15 Knife Flights

50 Stunt Jumps

30 Nuclear Waste

Collecting the above items will unlock 5 achievements worth 95 .

Every section below will provide clear instructions on what is necessary for each type of collectible. There are certain characters which work best in certain situations, and some of the collectibles also require prerequisites before they can be started.

TIPS:

Make sure to use "Quick Save" often, especially during Stunt Jumps, Knife Flights and Under the Bridges. You'll be able to load up your save if needed.

Prerequisite: Using Franklin, you'll need to talk to a Stranger/Freak called Omega in east Sandy Shores. Once you talk to him, you can begin collecting the spaceship parts.Recommendations: Any character can find these once Franklin's triggers the mission. Also, chop can help locate these pieces with use of the iFruit app on your cellphone although this feature is not necessary nor extremely useful in most instances.Notes: After collecting all 50 pieces, you will receive a text from Omega and he will show up on your map. Deliver the last piece to him to unlock the achievement. Make sure to take the Space Docker vehicle with you!

Prerequisite: None.Recommendations: Chop can help locate these pieces with use of the iFruit app on your cellphone although this feature is not necessary nor extremely useful in most instances.Notes: After collecting all 50 pieces, flip through the letter, visit the killer's house and complete the mission to unlock the achievement.

Prerequisite: None.Recommendations: Trevor has the highest flight skill, so he is the best character choice.Notes: You can steal a buzzard helicopter from N.O.O.S.E Headquarters (Southeast just off the city). There are also helicopters available on the police station and Los Santos hospital, although they are much larger. You are also free to use your cellphone to buy one if it is easier. Also, make sure you get a notification when going under a bridge, and verify that your count matches the number in the corner of the video to save yourself from a headache of doing them all over. They don't always count perfectly.

*These two bridges are the hardest. Make sure you get a notification while doing them!
**The placed waypoint in the video is a tiny bit off. There are two pedestrian bridges over the highway, and you want to do the north one.

Achievement unlocked
You must ensure that you get all 50 Under the Bridges as well as all 15 Knife Flights for the following achievement:Close Shave - 20
Complete all Under the Bridge and Knife Flight challenges.

Prerequisite: None.Recommendations: Trevor has the highest flight skill, so he is the best character choice. Notes: There are multiple planes that you can use here. Buying the McKenzie Airfield will allow you to use the Red Plane inside the hangar after completing air trafficking missions. Also, yellow Crop Duster planes will regularly land here, which can be useful. Also, the stunt plant is small and nimble. The Jet is NOT recommended as it has a high learning curve for most players.

Achievement unlocked
You must ensure that you get all 50 Under the Bridges as well as all 15 Knife Flights for the following achievement:Close Shave - 20
Complete all Under the Bridge and Knife Flight challenges.

Prerequisite: None.Recommendations: Franklin’s driving ability is very useful.Notes: Sportscars can easily be found in the areas surrounding Michael's house. If you are in dire need of a car, feel free to call a taxi and hijack it, as most of the jumps can be completed in the cab if necessary. Also, it is likely that one jump (#4 in video) will require a motorcycle. Lastly, it is crucial to adjust the wheels and stunt jump speed to complete these. It is essential for you to land flat on all your wheels, and you can alter your cars position using the left stick. You can also adjust the speed in which time passes with the right stick. I recommend a medium speed for time as it tends to work the best.

Prerequisite: You must purchase the "Sonar Collection Docks" for $250,000, which becomes available after completing "The Merryweather Heist" mission. You can use any character.Recommendations: Use a quick general map preview in the video, and then use trackify to pinpoint the collectible.Notes: You will get $23,000 as a reward for each barrel of nuclear waste you collect. This property has a large potential return on investment, and can be used to easily build up some money early on in the game.

These pieces can be collected using Michael after buying the Sonar Collection Docks which shows up after completing "The Merryweather Heist". There is a mission here for Michael to trigger by speaking to a woman named Abigail. At this point, a dingy will appear near the dock and Michael can use this along with the trackify app to find all 30 pieces. You should use the app to find the location of the piece and then begin scuba diving using Michael, until you get to the bottom of the ocean floor, and pick up the item. Completing these grants no substantial reward.

These can only be collected after completing all 8 of the Epsilon mission within the game. To start this series of mission, complete the Epsilon Identity Evaluation on www.epsilonprogram.com, using the in-game internet browser, using Michael, which will spawn a new strangers and freaks on Mount Josiah. After completing "Unknowing the Truth" you can begin collecting the 10 Epsilon Tracts. Collecting all tracts will reveal a hidden message on the Epsilon website. The link will be sent to you sent to you via email, and show up on www.epsilonprogram.com/tract.

Hidden packages are scattered amongst the ocean floor around the outside of the map. Hidden Packages contain "large" sums of money ranging from $10,000 - $25,000. They are often found in interesting areas, next to sunken boats or crashed airplanes. Armour and guns are often found in the areas close to the hidden packages, and may be worth keeping an eye out for. Collecting all of the hidden packages will gain you about $130,000 in cash.

Was a little downed with the small traffic to this thread, but I've got my mojo back and have added a lot of content.

Worked on introduction post

No-linking timelinks have been added for all collectibles (These will be hyperlinked shortly)

Added detail to descriptions (intro) for all achievement based collectibles

Completed explaining Nuclear Waste (video not necessary for radar based collectibles - although they may be added)

Explanation for Submarine Pieces

Hey Maka, just a thought about the Nuclear Waste video. When I did that the video was actually pretty helpful. Despite having the radar, you don't actually know where it is until you get very close to it and some of them are miles apart. I think without the video it would have taken me twice as long honestly. The video showing the waypoint on the map was the most helpful part really, not so much the actual footage of the collectible.

Okay, that makes sense. I'll capture the video today, and edit it for tomorrow!

is there any way to see remaining stunt jumps? via that website on the cell and shows the jumps etc? I was following the vid and apparently I missed one some how, but Im pretty tired and was trying to go as quick as possible. I re-watched the vid and remember hitting them all.

i went to restart and after the first jump it said "undefined" and then i get the achievement when had one to go.

this thread is buried deep inside the GTAV thread, and your guide has had barely any view compared to powerpyx's. i used your videos for under the bridge and knife flight and thought they were better than powerpyxs.

anyway. good job with the guide!

I was taking my time finishing off this thread before I asked for it to get stickied. The thread is almost complete now.

Also, if you are ever curious if I've covered something in video form, you can have a quick look at my page through my signature, and chances are it'll be there!
